Canadian horror specialists Black Fawn Films have been slowly but surely producing genre product for a number of years. The team first hit our radar when Anitsocial hit the UK back in 2013 (the film made my Top 10 of the year), since then we’ve had films like The Drownsman, Antisocial 2, The Sublet and Bite.

Their latest film, which will screening at the 2017 European Film Market in Berlin this month, is The Heretics. Produced by Cody Calahan (Antisocial, Bed of the Dead) and directed by Chad Archibald (The Drownsman, Bite) the film tells the story of…

…a young girl who is abducted by a man, after he claims that a cult is hunting her. His goal is to protect her until sunrise but while restrained, the young girl falls deathly ill. While her friends and family search for her, the source of her illness becomes more and more apparent. She’s not sick… she’s changing.

In anticipation of the films EFM debut Black Fawns Films have released, via their Facebook page, the first poster for The Heretics, check it out:
